When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s part of what it means to be alive.
